So much to talk about.
And so many things we can't talk about.

it's all well and good that the timbers won but gently caress that was ugly. would rather win a real match than capitalize on some sort of weirdo team meltdown.

Oh my God, yes. Like, that was all around awful reffing from the whole team. I'm half surprised he didn't play out the final stoppage time like an idiot.

rewatching the Azira red, it looks like it was for a stomp, not an elbow. If it was for the elbow, then that's the worst red ever. It looks like he stomps the back of Fernandez's ankle and Fernandez makes the most of it.

Was Azira already on a yellow? edit: doesn't look like it. Yeah that's a stupid straight red.

Evans red was legit. Oba getting hurt right after the 3rd sub was unfortunate. Gaston's flop was fortuitous. And Dempsey Dempseyed.


Regardless, it was 2-1 before the fiasco & should have been 2 or 3-1 if it wasn't for Kwarasey in the 2nd half.


Edit: props to SSFC for that lovely set up that has a bunch of pissed off (or gleeful and taunting) home fans exiting 3' from away support.

Also, my son, the mediocre lacrosse player scored on that field too. Time to retire "Fortress Starfire" and play at the venue SSFC rents from the NFL.

Shitposting in Seattle

Portland fans complaining about Seattle throwing poo poo at players is priceless considering they have done it in the past. fans in general suck and you probably shouldn't get so worked up over a game. On the flip side you guys have your chance to win your first piece of silverware! The pointless US Open Cup that now that my team is out suddenly IS UTTERLY MEANINGLESS!!!

Throwing poo poo at players is a flagrant waste of perfectly good referee ammo. Shameful to see Seattle fans treating garbage like it's a renewable resource.

You throw anything towards the pitch in Portland and I see it you're watching the rest of the match from a nearby bar.

I doubt it was ECS because just like the TA they're generally respectful of the game. With the bench that close to exiting angry fans, I'm not surprised that they took the opportunity to throw poo poo.



Oh yeah, it should have only been 2-1 because Troy Perkins let in one of the softest goals I've ever seen.

Seattle's fans have pretty much enjoyed this more than any loss in their history, so I'm not sure what the melting down is.

Does the TA get a travel ban for bringing flares into Starfire, is my question.

If they do, it'd be bullshit, because I distinctly remember ECS using flares at Starfire and getting nothing more than Arlo White jokingly calling them "naughty boys and girls"

Ahh man, that match had it all. A derby cup game between two of the best crowds and atmospheres in U.S. soccer that regularly sell out 20k and 40k capacity stadiums, that's instead played at Starfire with a capacity of 4k. Kit swap for the Sounders at half-time because apparently no one before the game could figure out that black and dark green clash. No TV coverage, just a lovely stream that made it even harder to tell which team was which in the first half. A solo radio commentator that couldn't tell the difference between players with similar haircuts and kept getting poo poo wrong, but he managed to make fun of the referees haircut AND foreshadow the poo poo-show to come. Then a few decent goals by cool and good players, and then the meltdowns, injury to obafemi minutes after using their last sub, clint dempsey being an rear end, and police escorts for the refs.

I hope Martins is ok though, injuries blow. From news reports it looks like it was a groin/adductor thing. Must have been pretty drat severe to warrant getting a trip in an ambulance and an MRI afterwards.

Was it flares or just smoke? I didn't see it but heard Fletcher mention it. Last year when one of our bigger douchebags set off smoke on the way in he was trespassed & arrested after he tried to get back in. He got a travel ban from the TA and banned from home matches for the rest of the season.

I haven't seen him (or had to deal with his poo poo) at a league match since.
